How To Stop Structures from SHAKING: LEGO Saturn V Tuned Mass Damper

The video explores the physics of preventing tall structures from swaying, using LEGO Saturn V rockets as a demonstration. It explains how tall objects behave like upside-down pendulums and introduces the concept of tuned mass dampers, which use energy swapping to reduce oscillations. The video also highlights real-world applications of tuned mass dampers in skyscrapers, power lines, and other engineering fields.
